Insurance
Worldwide travel insurance is available at www.lonelyplanet.com/travel_services . You can
buy, extend and claim online anytime - even if you're already on the road.
Level of Cover A good travel insurance policy covering theft, loss and medical problems
is essential. Some policies specifically exclude designated 'dangerous activities' such as
scuba diving, motorcycling and even bushwalking. Make sure the policy you choose fully
covers you for your activity of choice.
Health You may prefer a policy that pays doctors or hospitals directly rather than requiring
you to pay on the spot and claim later. If you have to claim later make sure you keep all
documentation. Check that the policy covers ambulances and emergency medical evacu-
ations by air.
